Towel mitt for washing

Abstract

A towel mitt for washing that includes a first layer of material and a second layer of material juxtaposed on the second layer of material and forms therewith a hand receiving pocket for receiving a hand of a user. The first and second layers of material have pile outer faces for delicate washing and abrasive inner faces for more abrasive cleaning and for increasing friction between the hand of the user and the towel mitt so as to prevent unintentional dropping of the towel mitt. The hand receiving pocket is symmetrical relative to the longitudinal centerline of the towel mitt so as to allow the towel mitt to be used on either hand without discomfort, and is defined by stitching that is inward of the edges of the first and second layers of material so as to form flaps that when flipped above expose the abrasive inner faces of the first and second layers of material for utilization when more abrasive cleaning is required.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A towel mitt for washing, comprising: a) a first layer of material; and   b) a second layer of material juxtaposed on said first layer of material and forming therewith a hand receiving pocket for receiving a hand of a user; said first layer of material forming with said second layer of material four common edges and a longitudinal centerline with a length; said first layer of material being maintained juxtaposed on said second layer of material by specifically configured stitching; said specifically configured stitching originating from one common edge of said four common edges, equally spaced from both sides of said longitudinal centerline, and extending therefrom substantially parallel to, and approximately half said length of, said longitudinal centerline, where it then extends radially outwardly to form five finger receiving pockets for receiving the five fingers of the hand of the user.   
     
     
       2. The mitt as defined in claim 1, wherein said first layer of material is generally rectangular-shaped and has an outer face and an opposing inner face. 
     
     
       3. The mitt as defined in claim 2, wherein said outer face of said first layer of material is pile. 
     
     
       4. The mitt as defined in claim 3, wherein said opposing inner face of said first layer of material is more abrasive than said pile of said outer face of said first layer of material. 
     
     
       5. The mitt as defined in claim 4, wherein said second layer of material is generally rectangular-shaped and has an outer face and an opposing inner face. 
     
     
       6. The mitt as defined in claim 5, wherein said outer face said second layer of material is pile. 
     
     
       7. The mitt as defined in claim 6, wherein said opposing inner face of said second layer of material is more abrasive than said pile of said outer face of said second layer of material so as to increase friction for assisting in maintaining the hand of the user in said towel mitt, as a result of their abrasiveness. 
     
     
       8. The mitt as defined in claim 5, wherein said opposing inner face of said first layer of material opposes said opposing inner face of said second layer of material and said outer face of said first layer of material and said outer face of said second layer of material are exposed. 
     
     
       9. The mitt as defined in claim 1, wherein said specifically configured stitching forms said hand receiving pocket which is symmetrical relative to said longitudinal centerline so as to allow said towel mitt to be used on either hand without discomfort. 
     
     
       10. The mitt as defined in claim 1, wherein said first and second layers of material outwardly from said specifically configured stitching are free of each other and form flaps so as to allow said opposing inner face of said first layer of material and said opposing inner face of said second layer of material to be flipped over and exposed and utilized for washing areas requiring more abrasiveness than afforded by said pile of said outer face of said first layer of material and said outer face of said second layer material.
